Events for an Equitable Movement

What’s in this episode?

In this episode,we talk to Felix and Željko about the past and the future of Wikimedia events. We start with a critical review of the current event structure and practices, learn how an event team led to developing a Wikimedia Agenda for an entire continent, and start drawing a picture of what events could look like that are aligned with our strategy.

Our guests are...

• Felix Nartey, the Wikimedian of the Year in 2017, currently working as a Senior Program Officer at the Wikimedia Foundation.
• Željko Blaće (also known as Z), media activist and event coordinator who lead the 2023 Queering Wikipedia hybrid conference.
